Unlike much of the world, I loved (loooooved) Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez’s retro cinematic experiment “Grindhouse.” But when the two films were split up for separate DVD releases, I refused to buy. Mostly because I had an inkling that a dual-disc set was in the offing.

Well that future date took a long time to present itself, but October 5 has finally been declared the date “Planet Terror” and “Death Proof” would be reunited with their linking trailers to bring the full “Grindhouse” experience to DVD. The rub: “Grindhouse” will only be available on Blu-ray. Well, looks like I finally found the reason that’ll force me to upgrade!
